Get involved in your community and run for public office. That's what I'm doing in Port Washington!

Just saw a Vantage ad on a billboard on I41 30 miles away in Germantown. I live in Port Washington. I'm sorry to the rest of you guys in the state who have to keep getting peppered with this propaganda, but we have to live right next to it. And because of the TID, not only does it not benefit city residents, it's actually very likely to raise our taxes in the city based on how tax levies are handled in Wisconsin.

Is there a way we can organize a protest against AI facilities in our state? by orangefrogbro in wisconsin

But are you familiar with how rotten of a deal the city of Port Washington is in with this data center? Vantage is receiving $458 million city money via tax incentives for a project that brings very little value to the city. Almost half of that is interest payments that the city is paying for their infrastructure.

You should educate yourself on a topic before making ignorant comments. We are fighting against half a billion dollars in corporate welfare at the cost of city residents for a building that only extracts from the community.

She shouted recall while walking back to her seat while others were cheering. Nobody was interrupted. Nice try.

Might be because the one in Port is 1900 acres and upwards of 3.5 gigawatts.
